Outlook bros, how are we holding up
it's bad
not my problem
>>110313114sir but the cloud is called as more reliable
I feel a great disturbance in the force, it's as if millions of middle managers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.Teams is down.
>shit fucking week>now this>tomorrow is Fri 13thFuxk everything about this week
>>110313114not my problem, weekend begun
>>110313114>>110313243qrd?
>>110313809it's beautiful
>>110313809microsoft us servers shat the bed. looks like it was jeetware on there health check system that failed closed and it cascaded. current remediation is routing traffic to overseas servers while they figure out what broke.
works on my machine>t glownog
>>110314077not working in australia either, for me anyway
>>110313114I'm waiting on an important email and now I don't know if it hasn't been sent or I'm just not receiving itI can't plan my day without the email so now I'm in FUCKING LIMBO
>work in IT>can't send out a mass email saying that we're aware there's an issue with outlook >calls all fucking day from retards saying "WHY IS MY EMAIL NOT WORKING WHEN IS IT GONNA WORK AGAIN"
>boss cant bother me todayoh no this sucks haha
>>110314460sounds like you need one of these
It's actually really funny. I run a private email server for customers to connect to via IMAP/SMTP. We're entirely unaffected by this outage. However, customers who decide to use Outlook as an email cilent are unable to access their email because when you connect Outlook to my server, it just sends your credentials to MS and their servers download the email while the Outlook client is basically just a web client displaying the email on MS's servers.
>>110314789thisi literally don't see the problem
>>110313114izzat status?
Are you sure it's all down? I'm not getting any errors from thunderbird.
>>110315649Okay, nevermind.
Teams was still working a bit but Outlook has been kill for a while nowdid it finally happen?
You can tell this board is full of NEET faggots because anyone who is actually employed should be in this thread lol
Am I going to have email tomorrow?
>>110317649some people still have real jobs
>>110317649I'm employed and have nothing to do. Of course this bullshit happened on the 1 day of the week I've come into the office, so it's not like I can even jack off or play some vidya to kill the time. Just gotta sit here and look 'busy'.
What is the outlook on Outlook bros?
>>110317728
This has made me realize there's a fuck ton of people who are literally just email peddlershow tf is your job impacted in any way besides a mild inconvenience with this outage
Is it ogre?
>>110317745>outlook connects to teams>outlook down so teams calendar is gone>can't see what meetings are upcoming
>>110317811imagine using a calendar
mfw cock.li has better uptime now than outlook
>>110317745I'm working on a large project built in Power Automate which is being guided by AI (GPT and Claude). Copilot's down so I can't access the AI. I would keep manually working on the project even if my progress was extremely slow but I can't because all the progress files, documentation and project architecture are in my Sharepoint, which won't fucking load.
>>110317882sounds like a good lazy daytake an extra-long lunch breaktreat yourself
>>110314460But how are you receiving tickets and sending out mass notifications without outlook?
>>110317988... he isn't, did you even read the post lol
>>110317991I did not
>>110317988Most top companies use a sophisticated ticketing software like ServiceNow or Zendesk.Imagine supporting 100,000 employees with an Outlook mailbox.
oh fuk still down?
>>110317745My entire job is working on PowerBI Fabric
I guess all the white men took the resignation package and left the jeets to fend for themselves?
Do people actually use Outlook for their personal email? My work email has been broken all day and I don't give a shit. Its not my problem.
>>110317738
>>110317745all my tasks come in through email so if there's no email i have no tasks
We get a snow day tomorrow tech bros
are any corporations free from Microsoft walled garden? One would think they would all be Linux by now.
I spent half of the day teaching my son how to ride his bike instead of working due to this outagethank you jeets for breaking o365
>>110318080>microshit breaks>you have a contract with them and they're forced to fix it, you can kick back and relax while they do what they're paid to>troonix breaks>some neckbeard tells you to rtfm in between his jelqing sessions troonix is unsuitable for serious companies
>>110313114my ancient battle.net account is attached to a hotmail account and i can't resub to play forever because i can't remember my password
>>110317745Can't do 2FA if jeetmail is down.
>>110318100This bullshit hasnt been true for decades, you can buy a support contract from canonical, redhat, suse, or others.
>>110318100> shit skin says
>>110317745You can't trade if you can't email traders and like 30% of the economy is finance
OUTLOOK CLASSIC CHADS RISE UPOld version is 100% operational, sending and receiving lmaoooo
>>11031774530% of my jobs is email but another 30% is based on a govt website that is down because of MS kekAccounting day it is
>>110318080>Muh linuxHow exactly does linux solve this problem? It has nothing to do with operating systems.
>>110318204You mean the desktop client? Thats just a common imap/smtp gui lol.
>>110318204On prem?
>>110318204big if true
>>110318239I have no idea what you are saying but Classic Outlook is sending and receiving and New version is dead in the water
>>110318204based retard who can't differentiate between gui client vs. outlook webservice
This place is full of boomers who think it's still all IMAP, and zoomers who have never worked and think sprinkling in linux will fix things.
>>110318227exchange doesnt run on linux
I'm doing great, I've been laughing all day at the larper jeets that use this board.
I doubt microsoft has a bunch of linux servers. Besides this doesn't solve its current problem. Your other solutions to switch to linux should be specified as what linux? Linux desktop OS, server, client side outlook replacement, MS Office replacement? most companies run linux servers or outsource it to Azure and AWS. if your company is large enough you likely run a server yourself to host the email service.
>>110318259Thx friendo. I never post here but wanted to share that Classit Outlook is working. Im an autists who disables windows update on the registry as soon as I get a new laptop so my classic outlook is a very old version
>>110318298Azure actually does run a lot of linux virtual servers, and Microsoft do run some services on these linux systems. At the core, it's some modified Windows Server (I think it's called CloudHost?) acting as a hypervisor. The idiots talking about "muh linux" should be trying to talk about products that compete with Microsoft 365 rather than the OS. There's nothing really here, except perhaps Collabora Office, but it's not a drop in replacement.
>>110318357Well thats new to me i figured they had some linux servers but mostly ran everything on Win Server. Either way yeah i agree the closest competitor to anything MS is Google but they abandon products to quickly and make unpopular sweeping changes to often. Libre office while decent cannot compete in the slightest with MS office especially since Excel is still god of the office. Other email services aren't nearly as robust or cover the needs of these companies and i still don't know of any that has a client service a company would need.
>>110318105lucky man
How are the Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, Indians, Roos and Kiwis taking it??Imagine the smell after things begin to run again
So what's the issue? How do you cock up an email service like this?
>>110318400>Excel is still god of the officeTruly, and nothing comes close. Now I wonder how the French faired in their attempt to drop it for government workers, they were supposed to make the switch by August.
>>110318415It's not just email, it's the entire Microsoft 365 ecosystem, so services like OneDrive are affected also.
>>110313396Mangers at my work are mad, everyone else is milking it.
>>110318423France can just chuck 1 million each to Libre Office, Notepad++ and 7Zip. Then 10mil towards linux. It won't actually solve the problem but it would be better than virtue signally "Fuck USA" if they later on take it seriously they would have injected cash into organizations that have viable products that then you can fork over to another in house company for your own version. idk software dev is expensive
>>110313396I convinced my boss to get rid of teamsthanks european union for the no teams licenses I guess
>>110318435really? ohnononononoooooo ahahaha
The internet is gonna die, isn't it?
>>110318540Thanks be to God.
>>110318540I hope so.
>>110318540You'll have to to the back of the rental store for your japanese anime porn.
>>110318540yes the boomers won we are going back to the 60s computers are kill
>>110318259And what exactly does outlook webservice provide, apart from plunging the world into chaos when it breaks, compared to outlook skinned basic email client? I'm gonna see if I can download Eudora
Xbox live worked fine all day
>>110318595>sending important work communications via xbox live messages
>>110318540the internet is a corpse since 2013
>>110313114Put women in their place, mandate baptisms and the Creed of Nicaea, prohibit islam, judaism, catholicism, baptistism, easy fixes really.
>>110318509>tfw i work in public healthcare and everyone is addicted to MS slopwe're so fucked, dunno what i'm gonna do tomorrow morning lmao
>>110318609It can even send audio messages.
Oh lord my sides
>We will continue to share more information as soon as we have it, and for now we can confirm that there is no indication this is the result of malicious activity. We’ll continue to apply learnings towards remediation actions as we confirm effectiveness mitigation actions.
>>110318646will he switch to linux when this is all done or just hope it doesn't happen again?
This is the most Indian sentence some of you will ever see.https://status.cloud.microsoft/
>>110318702they should start applying grammars as well
>>110318646HAHAHAHA
>>110318702These fucking jeets. Any other company would rightfully be buried at this point.
>>110318702saaar we will use the learning to remediate in the future and never repeat sar
>>110318702takes ten seconds to say >copilot rewrite this for me
>>110318674If you switch to linux, setup full disk encryption, and then lose your key, you're also done.
>>110318731Yeah, but even copilot is down
>>110318646why the fuck would you put bitlocker on a personal computer
>>110318731>copilot rewrite thisWell, that's down so...
> 04:10 (11:10p) Microsoft is "adjusting traffic protocols, redistributing traffic, and applying strategic traffic blocking measures." It reports "partial recovery across regions in which we've applied these adjustments," but says "these actions aren't resulting in sustained recovery" and it is reviewing what else it can do. Next update by 05:30 UTC.OH NO NO NO NO NO
>>110318735then don't... do it? you get the choice.>>110318743FDE on laptops makes sense but a laptop shouldn't hold anything too important.
>>110318743it's the default setting on win11 isn't it?
>>110318743>>110318753FDE is great when you want to dispose of a drive.
>>110318031Both depend on email for opening and updating tickets for customers/users/little people.
>>110318357A single FTP directory with text files in it outcompetes Office 365.
>>110318759It never actually tells you this but yes if you link a microsoft account (which you can't opt out of these days unless you do it directly on rufus before copying to USB) it automatically encrypts the drive.
>>110318752>"these actions aren't resulting in sustained recovery">Next update by 05:30 UTC
>>110318766if you want to encrypt a drive it's because you have 'p on it and in that case you shouldn't use the fde with a confirmed backdoor in itat least use one with an unconfirmed backdoor
>>110318774It's Office 364 now. Soon to be Office 363.
>>110318778This is actually a very sensible default, but to save idiots from losing their keys, Microsoft backs up the key to there own servers. That's the right call for most retards to prevent them from losing everything... but it of course depends on Microsoft keeping there services running if you need to retrieve the key.If you're a criminal, then you'll want to skip the option to backup your keys to MS.
>>110318646RFC6238 is so simple and easy to implement that you'd have to be a retard to use an authenticator program written by anyone except yourself.
>>110318783Well most people encrypt the drive so that it can be easily disposed of, and for companies it helps with data compliance laws. The fact that you associate encryption with csam is concerning.
kek
>>110317745Shills need to report to their handlers for rupees. No email no rupee.
>>110318799For consumer PCs it's an absolutely retarded choice when the cheap family laptop shits the bed and nobody knows what email grandma used the only device with all family photos is just fucking gone.It should be opt in and clearly explain what it does and why you wouldn't want to turn it on as a regular user.I fix PCs as a side gig sometimes and the amount of people I've had to tell all their files are fucking gone forever because they don't remember the email or their family member that passed never told them their password is larger than I'd like.
>>110313114My previous boss was sooooo lazy that this news baffles me as to how he spent his day today given how much he loved taking shortcuts even when emailing clients through outlook exclusively
So what happens to microshsrt if this outage goes on for days? It's not getting fixed now, and it looks like it won't be fixed by tomorrow
>>110318848Their only saving grace right now is that the weekend is coming and almost no one but IT works on fridays/weekends.
>>110318848We all switch to hosting our own email servers and create a very decentralized system where there is no central failpoint.
>>110318848If it's not tomorrow then they have the whole weekend before wagies start caring again at least.
>>110318858I wish they did this on a monday instead...
>>110318841It's not gone forever because Microsoft backs up the key, which on any day other than today, is a good compromise. And now when Jamal or Russian prostitutes steal your laptop, your data is secure. As for Grandma, Microsoft just backs up everything to OneDrive (and Apple does this to iCloud) without her knowing. When she buys a new computer, her files are 'magically' already there.
>>110318848Imagine if we go back to fax machines
>be Microsoft >Fire all of your on-site software engineers >Vibeslopped back-end update breaks everything>Now have to rely on the same useless outcall pajeets that your customers do when something goes wrong. >Billions of dollars and what's left of your reputation on the line.I'm okay with this turn of events.

>>110318870>And now when Jamal or Russian prostitutes steal your laptop, your data is secure.In civilized countries, that is extremely rare. It's very not worth all the lost files from people forgetting the passwords they put in once moths/years ago.
>>110318894At that point the email outage will affect supply chains to the point that super markets will start going empty and you'll have bigger problems than what happens at your wage cage.
are they just pasting generic customer service replies into the wrong window at this point

>>110318894>email out by mondayManagers need to find a way to remain visible so stupid rules galore.VPs, Dirs and highersups are somewhere between concerned and jumping on the options to move away from Outlook.Legal and Csuite happy since contracts have SLAs they can use to get a better deal from Microslop.Inspirational quotes about outage flood Linkedin. Tik toks, Reels and shorts are posted how everyone was affected by this except dor this specific creator and if you comment resilient they’ll send you a link to their paid guide.Next q prices go up to negate any losses.

While I was working Outlook was completely fucked, then the e-mail component of Salesforce died, so we were then limited to just phones and Teams. If Teams is gone tomorrow we basically will not be able to work. All our tools will be just fine, but since communications will be limited to phones we'll be so bottlenecked nothing will get done. I get in at 7:30AM PST, they'll probably already be fucked by then.
